Amjad Taha, a senior UAE-based analyst, said that out of 8.3 billion people on Earth, only two appear to trust Iran: President Trump and Vice President JD Vance. His remark was reported Wednesday by Israeli Telegram channels.
Amjad Taha, a senior Emirati political analyst, made a pointed remark Wednesday about US-Iran relations, stating on social media that only President Trump and Vice President JD Vance trust Iran among the global population. The statement, widely circulated in Israeli Telegram channels, reflects growing skepticism in the Gulf toward Washington's engagement with Tehran. Taha, a prominent commentator on Gulf affairs, has previously criticized Trump's stance on Israeli operations against Iranian-backed targets in Lebanon, and earlier this month assessed that Iran perceives Trump as unreliable. The comment comes amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and reported negotiations.
